InVS

When you strike your opponent with a projectile the world minimizes. Hold the last piece of ground to win.

Theme justification:
-Minimal Filesize: Procedural graphics kept the filesize very small(26kb)
-Minimal map size: When a player is killed the map becomes smaller.
-Minimal games design:Simple game mechanics that form interesting and complex interactions.
-Minimal colour scheme: The visual design uses one colour, 2 tones of grey, black and white,

-Protect yourself with walls. Trap your opponent.
-Do not be afraid of your own bullets, suicide can be strategic.
-Observe the behaviours of the different objects in the game. Use them to your advantage.

@Dir3kt
Thanks for trying it out 2 player man. Much appreciated. I really enjoyed your game.
I agree, I was worried the movement was going to be tricky.
Right now, left and right, turn you anti-clockwise/clockwise and forward moves you in the direction.

It would be more intuitive if left moves you left, right moves you right etc etc.

I felt I had to let the player turn independently of their movement so they could place a wall to the left of them but not move left (if that makes sense). I think the game would play a lot better with controllers though.

If anyone has any suggestions, I will try it out and put it in the post compo version.

Its a little tricky to navigate, and it would help if the movement was a little more fluent...

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
